Silent Girl

Author:

Tess Gerritsen

The newest mystery featuring the team of "Rizzolli" and "Isles" takes us on a roller coater ride after a severed foot is found on a roof in Chinatown. The foot has been cut clean by a very sharp sword and leads to a powerful matron of Chinatown. The story takes a turn that connects the murder to a murder in a Chinatown restaurant that took place many years ago. I loved the element of Chinese folklore especially the fable of the "Monkey King" which has an important role in the story. Tess does a great job evoking the secrets and mystery of Chinatown and the characters as always are top notch. I loved this book.
